Caramel Apple Cake

I don’t know what has come over me lately, but I have really been in to desserts. Maybe it’s the cooler weather now that fall is here, but I am totally into baking these days. I love it. 🙂 

Caramel Apple Sheet Cake is a delicious cinnamon apple cake with a heavenly and warm caramel glaze. It’s the latest treat I baked last week and it turned out so wonderful!

This apple cake is moist, full of flavor, and the sweet caramel glaze on top only adds to its perfection.

The caramel glaze melts right into the cake, so it ensures lots of glaze goodness with every bite! When I had a second piece the next day I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It only made it that much more amazing.

    1. Hi Diane! Yes you can. The cake will just be thicker and you will need to bake it longer. I would say it may need 25 minutes or longer to bake in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
